Empowerment: Are Grocery Store Messages Starving Your Joy?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Stress, AnxietyI find it challenging at times to go to the grocery store and hear nothing but disease messages like “did you get your flu shot”? It’s “cold and flu season again” (no such thing, literally). Or how about “you have a ____% chance of dying of breast cancer (yet statistically you have a much greater likelihood of never getting the disease in the first place, what about this?)

Do you notice that fear, fear, fear, is blasting all too often over the airways? Not to put my head in the sand, but walking about worrying about dying is no way to live.

Looking for your personal power?… here’s a hint – it’s an inside job!

“We all sit around in a circle and suppose while the secret sits in the the center and knows” ~ Robert Frost

Since I stopped believing in a “cold and flu” season I rarely “catch” one. If I’m stressed or tired and then feel symptoms coming on, virtually always, if I get a good nights sleep, meditate and relax, by the next day they are gone. Do not underestimate the power of belief. Fear is simply faith in what you do not want, generally speaking. I’m focusing my attention on peace as what you focus on expands. There are several paths that lead to peace, but ultimately, you can only truly find it from the inside out. Since the world can’t give it, the world can’t take it away.

Here are a few tips that can be useful:

Law of Attraction: Beyond Mental Movies and Poor Results

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Law of AttractionLaw of attraction is a term that is heard much more commonly now since the movie “The Secret” by Rhonda Bryne has been such a big hit.

I remember when I first became aware of the term at least ten years ago, it seemed a bit “out there”, but I found it interesting enough to begin to investigate it back then.  The more I learned, the clearer it became that it was really not a new concept at all.

You see I realized that I had been attracting what I focused on with belief all of my life.  The problem was, in those days, most of what I focused on was what I did not want! Actually, most people make this mistake.

For example, most people are focusing on fear, lack and the negative headlines about our economy and so it is no wonder that things continue to take a downward slide.  I read everyday about the rise in stress and emotional depression.  Is it any wonder?

Confidence and Self-Worth: Self-Esteem Matters to Your Health!

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

confidence, self-esteemConfidence and self-worth, regardless of what some psychologists say, does matter.  Really now, if you think of yourself as acceptable and worthy, why would this be considered selfish?

In fact if you are comfortable in your own skin, you are at least less likely to be paranoid about yourself in relation to others and less likely to see the world as a scary, competitive place to live.  This matters as far as your health is concerned as well.  Think about this; in recent decades, as people become more focused “fighting” cancer, stress and the cancer rates have actually accelerated.  This is related to the principle that what you focus on expands, even if you “don’t want” it.  You are giving your creative energy to whatever you keep your attention on.

The more fearful and constricted you feel about yourself and life, the more disease, or, “dis-EASE” you are likely to experience.  Here is an interesting quote I found from a Mayo Clinic internist who studies mind-body medicine:

Demystifying Self Esteem: It’s Just Not That Complicated

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

abstractpaintingSelf-esteem, or having a healthy sense of your own value, gets a lot of bad press and there is a lot of controversy around the topic.  This seems on the surface baffling to me, as what is the problem with, well, liking yourself?

Where did all of this confusion come from?  There are many reasons that I have come across, far too many to mention in a short blog post, but the bottom line conclusion on a practical basis is this: who you think you are and your sense of self-worth affects every single area of your life. If you feel good about yourself and think that you are worthy of the goodness of life you are right.

If you feel bad about yourself and think that you are unworthy of the goodness of life – you are also right.  The saying “be is unto to your according to your faith” is a principle of life – period.

Faith is another discussion for another time, but for this blog post, the main thing to remember is that faith and belief come from the heart.  It is not just some thought that you glibly recite to impress those around you.  When you believe something, you FEEL it.

Getting back to self-esteem I would say that simply self-acceptance is the goal.  When you accept yourself, you can have compassion for yourself instead of judging and beating yourself up all day long, and you can have a more open and compassionate heart for others.

Now, acceptance DOES NOT mean condoning or complacency.
